Stories that inspire

Dear reader,

We want to thank you for your interest in The Optimist, our weekly roundup of inspiring and uplifting stories. We started this newsletter almost four years ago to offer readers a break from the news and showcase people who succeed against the odds, are kind to others, find love in unexpected places and give great advice.

To celebrate The Optimist’s fourth birthday, we thought it’d be great to hear from you. What is optimism for you? What helps you recharge and start off a new week? Let us know what you like about this newsletter and what you’d like to see. You can reach us at theoptimist. We’ll do our best to get back to you and incorporate more of what you want to see here. Stay tuned!
